Skelwith Force Waterfall by munki-boy
Skelwith Force
Skelwith Force is in The Lake District National Park in England.
A small waterfall in a rocky section of the river Brathay before it enters Windermere.
There is a small section of footpaths around the fall but the rocks are often very slippery on the bank, after wet weather the small waterfall becomes a raging torrent. Worth a look if passing.
